You know, Pa he wears a liver-pad. Well, on Saturday my chum and me was out on the lake shore and we found a nest of ants, these little red ants, and I got a pop bottle half full of the ants and took them home. I didn't know what I would do with the ants, but ants are always handy to have in the house.
This morning, when Pa was dressing for church, I saw his liver-pad on a chair, and noticed a hole in it, and I thought what a good place it would be for the ants.
"You poor dear man!" went on Mrs. Jane Jukes Jopp. "What practical joker ever lured you into appearing in public in knickerbockers?" "I don't object to the knickerbockers," said Mrs. Agnes Parsons Jopp, "but when he foolishly comes out in quite a strong east wind without his liver-pad " "Little Tinky-Ting don't need no liver-pad, he don't," said Mrs.

Ma and me went home, after the heathen got through, and found Pa in his bed room, with part of his clothes off, and the liver-pad was on the floor, and Pa was stamping on it with his boots, and talking offul.

The colonel was already bringing another horror and tenderly dusting it. "Take this one too the gem of my collection the only genuine Fra Angelico that " "Illuminated liver-pad, that's what it is. Give it here good day people will think I've robbed a' nigger barber-shop." As he slammed the door behind him the Colonel shouted with an anguished accent
"I am not wearing my liver-pad," he replied, brusquely. "Oh, Vincent, how rash of you!" He was about to speak, when a sudden exclamation from his rear checked him. A genial-looking woman in a sports coat was standing there, eyeing him with a sort of humorous horror. "Well, Jane," he said. I gathered that this was Mrs.
I don't know what possessed me, but I took the liver-pad into my room, and opened the bottle, and put the hole over the mouth of the bottle and I guess the ants thought there was something to eat in the liver-pad, cause they all went into it, and they crawled around in the bran and condition powders inside of it, and I took it back to Pa, and he put it on under his shirt, and dressed himself, and we went to church.
Badly as this man had treated her and I remember hearing that several of the jury had been unable to restrain their tears when she was in the witness-box giving her evidence there still seemed to linger some remnants of the old affection. "I am quite well, thank you, Agnes," said Vincent Jopp. "Are you wearing your liver-pad?" A frown flitted across my employer's strong face.
